Mr Paul Boggs: Assembly records
All of Mr Paul Boggs’s imported questions, contributions and motions in this mandate, newest first, including those assessed as not qualifying, uncertain or not yet analysed.
I will ask the Member the same question back. What revenue-raising measures does his party propose, and does he agree that they will add pressure to workers, families and communities? Maybe that will just be the case for the people whom we represent; I am not sure if they will impact those whom he represents.
And what? As the First Minister said during Question Time, people here rightly pay their taxes. It is not — you can nod your head and smirk. It is not some kind of goodwill from the British Government to give people here what they rightly deserve. We pay our taxes: we deserve the same as everybody else. I thank the…
We all know and see that the rising cost of living continues to place enormous pressure on workers and families across our communities. As others have said, people are struggling with heating bills, food, groceries and the everyday cost of running a home, with little left at the end of the month. We need to see…
I thank the Member for giving way. He talks about the Executive not just getting to the next crisis before it supports people, but will he agree that a lot of the issues that affect the rising cost of living are completely outside our control? There are wars across the world that the British Government feed into, and…
Minister, I am aware that you recently made a capital investment of £1·2 million in the Barmouth moles in Castlerock, which was very much welcomed by that community. Can you outline the health and safety reasons for that investment?
I welcome the opportunity to speak at the Consideration Stage of the Bill, important legislation that the Minister is bringing forward as part of her three-pronged approach to tackling issues with our waste water infrastructure, particularly when it comes to capacity. Addressing the challenges in waste water…
Thank you for your statement, Minister. Like you, I stood with members of the McKane, McSorley and Caldwell families, who all lost loved ones on the A5 throughout the years. Given the importance of delivering this project when it comes to road safety, the number of lives lost and the communities impacted on over the…
I thank the Minister for proposing the order this morning. The impact of the order is significant. The decision to extend the Department's subsidy to NI Water for a further five years shows a commitment to protecting workers and families from domestic water charges. Today's move by the Infrastructure Minister will…
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. We had this discussion last week as well, but Standing Order 31 — correct me if I am wrong, as I am a new Member — states that a Second Stage debate is about a Bill's general principles. Is it in order for Members to paint the picture that we will be voting for the Bill as it is now…
I thank the Member for giving way. The Member talks about making a general point, and I understand Mrs Cameron's point. She may have gay friends and people whom she loves who are gay, trans or whatever else. We are here to discuss the general principles of the Bill. If the Member's general point is on what I spoke…
Minister, I welcome the steps that you have taken to ensure that the correct checks and balances are in place for what is a publicly funded organisation. Who will undertake the audit?
Minister, you say that you are demonstrating your commitment to those from what you refer to as the "armed forces community": why are you not as committed to people who live in poverty, those with an LGBT community background and those from all backgrounds who continue to be failed by the fact that you have not…
I speak today as a Sinn Féin member of the Infrastructure Committee to briefly outline our position on the Bill at Second Stage. I thank the Bill sponsor for engaging so early with our team. When we engaged, I did not realise that I would be in the Chamber scrutinising the Bill. I thought that I would still be working…
As you are on that point, this will save me covering it. Do you agree that, although the Bill looks at protecting trees that are already there, and rightly so — I will come to that in my remarks — businesses are taking the opportunity to plant more trees, while the Forest Service, the Woodland Trust and others have…
I thank the Minister for his statement, which references a "happy, healthy" start for children. Tackling child poverty and holiday hunger can help to give children and young people the best start in life, and we know that that can be done through the extension of free school meals during holiday periods. Minister,…
Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle I am sure that what everybody needs at this hour is a maiden speech, but here we go. I am deeply honoured to take up my seat as a Sinn Féin MLA for West Tyrone. As this is my first time to speak in the Chamber, I send my best wishes to my predecessor and good friend,…
I commend the measures that the Minister has already taken to better support our universities right across the North. In previous answers, she mentioned the proposed redundancies. Does the Minister agree that it demonstrates that more funding is required? Will she reconfirm her commitment to making that case?
